New Day Executive Search

Executive Chef

Are you a passionate culinary leader who thrives in a fast-paced, high-energy environment? We are seeking an experienced Executive Chef to lead the culinary operations of a dynamic entertainment venue where great food, exceptional service, and memorable guest experiences come together.

This is an exciting opportunity for a hands-on culinary professional who enjoys the energy of a busy operation, takes pride in scratch-made cuisine, and knows how to build and develop a strong kitchen team. Our ideal candidate brings a balance of culinary creativity, operational discipline, and financial awareness while maintaining consistency and quality in a high-volume environment.

What You'll Do

  • Oversee all daily kitchen operations, ensuring consistent execution, food quality, presentation, and service standards.
  • Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing culinary team, including kitchen managers, sous chefs, and hourly staff.
  • Drive menu development, recipe creation, and seasonal offerings while maintaining a scratch-made culinary approach.
  • Manage food costs, labor budgets, inventory, purchasing, and vendor relationships.
  • Establish production schedules, standardized recipes, portion controls, and kitchen procedures.
  • Maintain exceptional food safety, sanitation, and cleanliness standards.
  • Ensure the kitchen can execute efficiently during peak business periods, special events, and high-volume service.
  • Monitor financial performance and identify opportunities to improve profitability and operational efficiencies.
  • Partner with front-of-house and venue leadership to deliver an outstanding overall guest experience.
  • Create a positive, accountable kitchen culture focused on teamwork, consistency, and continuous improvement.

What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience as an Executive Chef, Head Chef, or senior culinary leader in a high-volume restaurant or hospitality operation.
  • Strong background in scratch-made cooking and menu development.
  • Experience leading and developing large culinary teams.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage food costs, labor, inventory, and overall kitchen profitability.
  • Strong understanding of high-volume food production and execution.
  • Knowledge of food safety, sanitation, and health department regulations.
  • Ability to remain organized, composed, and solutions-oriented in a fast-paced environment.
  • A hands-on leadership style with a passion for culinary excellence and team development.

Why This Opportunity?

You'll have the opportunity to lead the culinary operation of an exciting, high-energy entertainment destination where no two days are quite the same. If you enjoy the challenge of high-volume service, take pride in scratch-made food, and want to bring your leadership and creativity to an engaging hospitality environment, we'd love to hear from you!

Bring your culinary talent, leadership, and energy to a team focused on creating memorable experiences for every guest!
